Accordingly, “... and after deliberating with them he [king Kanakavarṣa] sent to the King Devaśakti, as ambassador, to ask for the hand of his daughter, a trustworthy Brāhman of good birth, named Saṅgamasvāmin, who was skilled in affairs, knew times and seasons, and could speak in a sweet and lofty style”.

The work is said to have been an adaptation of Guṇāḍhya’s Bṛhatkathā consisting of 100,000 verses, which in turn is part of a larger work containing 700,000 verses.
